WHERE WILL THE "STIMULUS" MONEY GO IN YOLO COUNTY

According to the California Economic Recovery Portal , the following list represents the amounts budgeted for Yolo County.

Based upon performance in the past, just how confident are you that they will spend the money wisely?

Traditional methods of financing for many of these was through Bond Measures, which have been repeatedly rejected by the voters. Keep in mind that you did not get a chance to vote on any of this credit expenditure and it appears that the Obama Administration has chosen to circumvent what little power the voter has. With the confidence in our elected officials at an all-time low, maybe we should make some changes.

Just how many jobs do you think these, by and large capital expenditures, will create any long-term jobs? The unemployment rate is close to 12.5 % now. Maybe you should contact the organizations and ask them.

As of October 22, 2009 the following is a list of the budget for Yolo County "Stimulus" money:

City of Woodland $14,839,000

Community Alliance with Family Farmers $519,780

Davis Joint Unified $3,261,719

Delta Elementary Charter $54,572

Esparto Unified $443,297

Federal Transit Admin-9 40' Busses $3,917,374

Food Bank of Yolo County $11,021

Neighborhood Partners, LLC $6,236,741

Sexual Assault & Domestic Violence $44,383

Transportation (not Assigned) $3,939,396

Washington Unified $3,486,688

West Sacramento Early College Prep $107,313

West Sacramento Pacific Associates, LP $420,099

Winters Joint Unified $692,260

Woodland Joint Unified $4,633,005

Yolo County $8,281,180

Yolo County Office of Education $633,105

Yolo Family Resource Center $1,600,000

Total As of 10/22/09 $ 53,120,933

Before we throw money at government, schools and transportation, maybe we should look further into their spending practices first, and see what waste can be eliminated.

If you trust them, say nothing. If you don't trust them, take them to task.

I don't trust people like you. The stimulus money should go to local projects. You don't like it, stop using our socialist roads, police, fire, parks, electricity, and stop breathing our socialist air.

DID YOU KNOW? REASONS TO VOTE NO ON MEASURE V.

1. Woodland Capital Improvement projects proposed but unfunded through 2018-19 $292,968,356 This does not include a large portion of the expense for the joint water project with Davis of $180,000,000. $129,674,374 WILL COME FROM THE WATER ENTERPRISE FUND(210), TO BE PAID FOR IN PART BY WATER RATE INCREASES. The big push starts in 2013-14.

2. The taxpayers of Woodland are extremely generous with their tax dollars. Up to now we have trusted our leaders to spend them wisely.The problem, however, is that we are facing extremely tough financial times in the near future. We have to be assured that all tax dollars are spent with our approval, subject to a 2/3 vote.
